I don’t know if it is less stressful for Matt to tell me things as they happen or blow up when things break a threshold for him. I don’t like getting critiqued all day or being yelled at so I think the priority should be what works best for Matt and me working hard on supporting our family. |

Should have been more attentive to Jack when he was talking to me. |

I was feeling really hurt and sad and then Maddie said daddy rarely tells her he loves her and often tells her to go away. I think after Matt wooed me and especially kids he’s just been more interested in being alone.
I know I do a lot of things that anger Matt that started since the day we met and life stressors have just compounded this. I am working very hard to do a better job at being there:
Work on using cutlery and demonstrating with kids
When I tell the kids something I have to be in the same room as they and follow through
I am responsible for dishes

I apologize for not thinking things through with the booster seats and doing better clean up after my friends and actively listening about the shampoo (and arguing instead). I need to think about all the steps of solving a problem with the car and be less quick to argue. I know that undermines your feelings and gives you extra work/is hard on the kids and whole family. I’m going to work hard to think about all my steps in the future. I put booster seats in and vacuumed it. I have tried to think of anything else I may need to replace with friends and am returning snacks to my car. I will work harder to not argue with you as much. I am hoping for your forgiveness because I care so much for you. You are the bedrock of our family and I deeply love and care about you. |
